Whatever Happened to Clan Lamont Lands?

3 місяці тому

Scottish Clans may be a thing of the past, but they carry emotional attachment across the globe. Scottish history tour guide, Bruce Fummey starts a series visiting clan lands to ask whatever happened to them between the times of the clans and now. We start with Clan Lamont.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

I have to chuckle Bruce, as I'm a couple of years older, and grew up in the shadow of Cheyenne Mountain, where NORAD still is. I can still recall the Nuke drills in Elementary school. As I grew older, the drills stopped, but the fact that we knew we lived in a prime target zone should a conflict come, thst we'd best put our heads between our legs and kiss our wee arses goodbye should the siren ever go off. It was a different time we both grew up in, just as it were for our dads and mums. I'm saddened to hear there was racial tension in Scotland at that time too, but I guess I'm not surprised either. The one thing I think most of us wanted to see was an end to that, and it warms my heart to see the kids today white, brown and black all get along together, laughing and hanging out as we should have done all along. Now, if only we can get countries to get along better.

@covenantor663 3 місяці тому

Heard an army medical doctor talking about how the ban the bomb folk would laugh at them as kids for being taught to get under their desks in the event of a nuclear attack. Later when doing her army medical training she met doctors who had gone to Hiroshima and Nagasaki shortly after the bombs were dropped, and they told her that the majority of fatalities happened when the victims ran to the windows when they saw the flash of light. There they were shredded to pieces by the small shards of glass resulting from the ensuing shockwave. She also said most of the irradiated material went upwards and spread out like an umbrella, so that there were areas closer to ground zero that had little to no radiation.

My mother in law is from Greenock and my husband is the product of the Navy being in there. My husband was born in 75 in Greenock. My father in law was the only American allowed to walk down the street where my Mother in law lived. The tension between the locals and the Americans was still high 2 years later. My husband is extremely proud of being born in Greenock and I honored his family by naming all of our boys with Celtic based names. But even more so by continuing a few of their family names. Proud to be part of the McConaghy line from Greenock Scotland.

I watched this with my mum who was born and still lives in Stevenston. She worked in ICI Nobel explosives factory (although her English teacher in school wrote to her mum to ask that she avoided a job in the factory and took up a role in a 'nice shop job' haha) following in her mums footsteps during WW2, this was during the time when Clydebank was being bombed in an effort to also target the explosives factory. Her mum used to run the boggies filled with bomb shells that where shipped out. I was born in an area of Stevenston called Campbell Avenue and my mum tells the story of a fued between Campbells and Lord Eglinton, who claimed to own the land that my house now stands on. There's a castle ruin across the road from me which played it's part in the fued. Great video and one that got some great stories and history out of my mum, thank you!

Hi I wondered if you’ve ever thought about doing a story on Scotland’s oyster industry? . This is an industry that once employed more people that any other sector in the Fishing industry and it’s a story that connects Orkney with Holland Wigtown Bay with France.. And how the oysters in Lock Ryan survived… and how rationing during the second world War Harold, the end of the oysters in Scotland.

@nancyholcombe8030 3 місяці тому

Hi Bruce! I appreciated this wonderful story of the ups and downs of Clan Lamont and their lands. It shows a resilience the Scottish people are known for, probably the reason that so many of us here across the pond identify with them so quickly. I especially liked the tie to WWII and the presence of US armed forces there in Dunoon. My father was actually in the Air Force but he had friends on the subs there and visited when he got the chance. His memories of the locals and the gorgeous lands that they called home were one of the few things he would talk about when asked about the war. I don't know where, but he was stationed very close to London, so he described Dunoon as being a peaceful respite, something the locals at the time might not have agreed with! I also recall that he was mad at the problems the locals had with the base in the seventies but he never mentioned race. I was young then and he told me that our sailors stationed there were "not behaving properly"! Now I know why he put it that way! 😁 I hope that new ways are found to sustain its people soon. As a poor person myself, I can sympathize. But, as a person with Scottish blood in my veins, I know that they will find a way! My best wishes go with them. ❤

It is fascinating to learn about the history of what is basically a little known clan, I had never heard of the Lamont clan let alone to actually be part of it. Many thanks good sir on filling in more about the greatest country on earth, a proud Scot who has never wanted to have an Australian passport, even after being here for 53 years. 👍👍👍👍👍 As a interesting point, the present clan chief is an Aussie that lives in Sydney.

Bruce, I claim Lamont as my clan, as my last name is Patrick, and they're willing to take us all in. That being said, my family appears to have come from the Killwinning Abbey area of Ayr, and we're more likely to be tangled up in the fueds involving Cunningham, Montgomery, and Hamilton, rather than Lamont vs Campbell. There's some evidence that seems to the Patricks of that area actually being connected with the Kirkpatricks and Kilpatricks of the Dumfries area. It really gets confusing to try to unravel it all from America though, only having some records and genealogy books that have been digitized, as well as church books to piece things together.

@Scotland History Tours I was a US Navy SSBN sailor in the late 1980s/early 1990s. I've met quite a few sailors who spent time at Holy Loch. I have a couple of friends whose mum is from Gurrock who married their dad who was stationed on the Submarine tender that was there. They moved back to the USA in the mid 1960s but she has plenty of family still living in the area, many of whom I've met along with some other women who married American sailors. I've never heard a peep about this incident. I have put an inquiry into a Facebook group to see if I can get more perspective.

I can tell you this for certain, local girls just about everywhere are more attracted to men from elsewhere than they are to the men they grew up with. There are theories that this is an evolutionary thing to prevent inbreeding. Friction between military personnel and "townies" is a story as old a military bases themselves. No doubt it happened within sight of Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall countless times.

True tale about a US submariner who bought a house in Helensburgh. Whilst at sea for months his front garden became unkempt.
